INTRODUCTION
In this course, our goal, we will to learn power flow
analysis, contingency analysis and state estimation. These are selected topics
and can be modified as needed. We will use Matlab and PSCAD student edition as
the software of choice to simulate most of our problems. I have placed 12
tutorials in the link for ECE412 in my webpage.

ASSESSMENT
There is going to be a
quiz every two weeks. We will have several small projects during the semester.
Quizzes will be worth about 30% of the grade.
Projects will be worth 30% of the grade.
The final exam will be the review and written report using
IEEE technical paper format and power point presentation of a technical paper.
This presentation we will be given to your classmates and you will be graded on
preparation, presentation, documentation, examples, and delivery. The
presentation will be worth 20%.
10% of the grade is my personal evaluation of you (class participation,
attendance, teamwork, etc).
PROJECTS
Projects will be accepted only via “email.” No
hard copies and/or handwritten solutions will be accepted.
HOMEWORK (Homework answers and other
issues)
Most homework will have to be emailed. However, when
needed use engineering paper only and staple it when necessary. Homework will
not be graded right away, so you must keep a copy. Homework will be based on the homework assigned and the
material covered in class. Homework will be worth 10% of the grade.
EMAIL
I have set up a filter in my web mail inbox and the only way
I will accept and answer your emails is if you use the subject: ECE612F06. I
have a rule; any email will be answered within 48 hours during the week and 72 hours
during the weekend. Please plan ahead and be on top of the material.
